How do we listen to those who are in different places, spaces, and realities than our own? How can you connect with them and build empathy, compassion, and shared understanding that makes our collective responses stronger?

AYE has always had this amazing ripple effect. The youth presenters encourage, inspire and change the people who hear their stories, which then ripples out to more people feeling empowered to share their stories...
We want to create more opportunities for youth to show up, stand up and be heard, throughout our society. Support our organization and have your donation matched!
For every $1 you contribute, Canada Bridges will receive $2 to continue supporting youth to show up, stand up and be heard!
